Question

The function f(x)=1200(0.8)^x represent the possible elk population of a national park x years from now. What is the current population of elk at the park? A.960 B.1200 C.1500 D.768

Answer 1

B.1200

Explanation:

This equation is in the form

`y=a* b^x`

where a represents the initial value and b represents 1 plus the growth rate as a decimal number. In this equation, the number in place of a is 1200; this means the initial value, or current population, is 1200.
